Big Axe Bar and Grill

"Good place for music but might as well sneak your flask in if they are going to charge over $21 for a single glass of Elijah Craig whiskey."

"As a local resident and a former Axe regular, I don't like leaving this rating. Alvin has limited choices for bars and restaurants, outside of fast food. Why Corey refuses to put more effort into capitalizing off that opportunity, I have no idea. The bartenders and servers have been and continue to be amazing! That might be the only thing keeping the regulars coming back and attracting others to give it a try. The food used to be good. It was consistent and fresh. There also used to be a daily special. When they expanded the space some months back, they refreshed their menu and added some items. We were optimistic, however quickly disappointed in the quality of the food. My husband and I used to come at least once a week. We decided to take a break from Axe for a couple months to hopefully let all their changes settle. We tried it again last night. It was 7pm on a Saturday following Thanksgiving. There may have been 15-20 people there, total, including the staff. Beers were cold and unfortunately so was the food. I ordered the club, and my turkey chunks were still frozen in the middle. The store-bought frozen fries were the only thing we ate because they were hot. My husband’s wrap was soggy. The bartender was great as always, apologetic and offered to remove our food from the bill. We told her it was not her fault, and we will pay for it; we were just disappointed that things were not improving."

"Pretty cool bar. The name is a little deceiving. I thought it was one of those axe throwing places that has a bar and live music. It's more like a bar with live music that has two axe throwing lanes tucked in the back corner. The waitress was great. She came and checked on us frequently. Wasn't overly crowded. We didn't have food. Just came for drinks and live music. Overall, great place to hang out. Recommend and will return."

"Dropped in for a quick snack with the hubby. Upon entering we were acknowledged, got our orders in and soon had our food. Everything was fresh, hot and delicious. Can't wait to come back for a longer stay."

"Great service and food. We got the tator tots, which I forgot to take a picture of. They were so delicious! Perfectly crispy on the outside and soft and creamy on the inside. For the entree I got the hamburger steak. I told my hubby this was hamburger steak on crack! So delicious and beefy. The garlic mashed taters were yummy as well. My hubby got the club sandwich and onion rings. Both were really good. They also have a really nice stocked bar with lots of beer on tap. We highly recommend this place. We'll try the axe throwing next time."
